Perhaps the quintessential example of a
premium compact, the Audi A3 has been completely redesigned for the 2013
model year. The car debuts at the 2012 Geneva auto show
as a three-door hatchback, which we likely won’t get in the U.S. It
does, however, provide a good preview of the sedan that will arrive here
as a 2014 model. This third-generation car will compete directly with
the all-new Mercedes-Benz A-class, the BMW 1-series, and the upcoming Volvo V40.
The
outgoing model was launched in 2003 before arriving in the U.S. as a
2006 model. That's a long life cycle, and the A3 looks to catapult back
to the top of the segment with a new platform and a heaping helping of
gadgets.
